The latch looks like and is described as metal. What about the part of the latch that is attached to the lid: is it metal or plastic? Thanks.

Metal covered with hard black plastic, latch works well bottom plastic cover surround is poor design and swells in heat and there is no way to repair, very disappointed for a quality made cooler, older ones were designed to last way longer, still use one for the 60's

The latch is all metal and very easy to lock or open. We camp and this cooler is the only one that will keep ice for days.

I'm not certain because it was bought to give as a gift and I can't remember. I did buy one for us about a year or so before that and the part of the lid that attaches to the lid is plastic--the part on the body of the cooler is metal.

Its plastic. And very weak. The metal only goes into the plastic handle for about 1/2". Mine snapped in half, I just posted a couple of photos.

I looked at mine and can't tell. Is a really solid lid with a metal rim. I would recommend it as I dropped it already and it is still in one piece!.

it is hard plastic. I've been using it for a few months now, and the threads inside the lid are stripping a little.

It looks like stainless steel but I'm pretty sure it is plastic. I have not had a problem with leaking.

The lid is metal on the outside and plastic on the inside, the little tip lid is a plastic piece that sticks out. it seems sturdy and is of good quality. All it needed was an ORing. The filter it has inside is a nice touch for refilling on the trail to keep bugs and goop out as well

It's part plastic part metal. The brown design and lid were metal. However, rain got in somehow and all my bird food got moldy. It was extremely hard to clean so I just threw it out.

The hinges are plastic, but I like it just fine. It doesn't feel or look cheap. We have had this lid for a few months now and haven't had any problems. It really makes the aquarium pop.

No it is not plastic. It is a fabric material and the lid has no closure. I have to tape the top closed every year. I store mine the in garage where the moisture is not so high. I would not buy it again.

This is majority metal, the red lock switch is plastic. Thanks for choosing AMBOSALES

Its been almost a year since I installed it. If my memory serves me, the latch system is metal. I felt impressed by the strength of design.

The body is metal, but the top lid is plastic. However, I do not know if it is BPA free. This is something to ask the manufacturer about directly. Sorry, I do not know this answer.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

its hard to tell but i believe it is plastic. very nice though. i think i almost prefer the plastic when i think about it because no chance of rusting. (and it is not chintzy).

1st I said I didn't know but then I got to thinking about it. It is stainless steel. The only thing that I can see that is plastic is the lid which doesn't touch the water.

It appears to be metal or a very very heavy grade plastic. So far it has worked very well for me. I'm not disappointed in this purchase.

Plastic but appears sturdy. Spend another $66 and you can buy the model with a metal lid ($166 currently on Amazon)
